eKrennic/eBala: @ 4-0 Locals [SOR Meta Radar] 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

I think the deck may be a solid meta "consideration" going forward. Additionally, it has a pretty good match up to Mill decks, and potentially can blow out multiple character decks.

Krennic is more than his card text. A lot of Krennic's use comes from his access to a lot of incredible cards. The deck is designed to have access to a lot of fast damage and additionally a lot of incredibly powerful cards.

• Imperial Inspection
• Friends in High Places
• We Have Them Now

The sleeper, Friends in High Places. It's a really strong card, that is always relevant and has a high ceiling in the correct builds. Even grabbing a 2-cost upgrade and attaching it to Balatik is a solid play. We potentially start with 5 dice, (likely 6 after attaching an upgrade) so it's live on turn 1 frequently.

IE: Grabbing Jetpack / Slave I / Z6 Riot Control Baton / Holdout Blaster

Fast Hands on Krennic is always great, especially when you claim the battlefield and first action to roll out Krennic to disrupt 2 resources. Starving your opponent before they even have a chance to use their resources is pretty oppressive.

We have 8 cards focused strictly on Dice Removal, and 2 on stacking 3 shields. The remainder of the deck is based on utility and getting out damage consistently.

Docking Bay is probably one of my favorite battlefields. Claiming, and picking up a Back up Muscle for free at any time in the game is pretty crazy. It allows you to really focus on rerolling early for that optimal damage. You also always have the Slave I relevance. You can always retrieve it and really pressure your opponent. Slave I becomes a measured threat that is always relevant even at 1, with Docking Bay.

In my humble opinion, I personally feel that eKrennic/eBala is definitely something to keep on the radar. It's a deck that may find a solid place on those early meta tier lists. We'll see where the SoR meta shifts.
